Robotland Theme Park To Open In South Korea, BotJunkie Considers Relocation

It’s so obvious that the US of A is just not the best place to be if you have a robot addiction to feed. There are a few notable exceptions, of course, but we don’t get $559 million to built a robot theme park. South Korea, on the other hand, does. Scheduled to begin construction in 2010 and open to the public by 2012, the park will feature robot entertainment and exhibitions, but also research and development centers, education buildings and industrial support facilities… It’s not just designed to boost the economy in the Incheon region, but also to actively advance the Korean robotics industry.
And it’s got a monorail and a GIANT ROBOT STATUE that looks to be about 50 stories tall. I wonder how much of a discount I can get if I buy my tickets three years in advance…
